Crashing Waves

The crashing waves pitched schooner steep on side, and valiant lady fain did make self right. With tattered sails that stole her former pride, avast - against the seas her mighty fight! A shrieking hurrican with madness wails, and sailors high in rigging reef the sheets. With struggle mate mans wheel whose chore entails: to keep GulfQueen from shoals where river meets. There shining bright through raging rain and night, a beacon light with message straight and bold: "The shoals are close to me beneath this site, beware of hurtful shale that seeks to hold." Thus faithful sentry saves ship - twenty lives. Returns men safe again to thankful wives.
